In the last few years, the growth of hype around the Kotlin programming language has been about the same as that of the Bitcoin rate. This close attention was gingered up even more in May 2017, when Google declared official support of Kotlin for the development for Android. Of course, we couldn’t help joining the study of this topic and decided to experiment with Kotlin, using it in our new Android-based project.

At one of the programming forums we were pleased to be able to speak to Rachid Guerraoui (École Polytechnique Federale de Lausanne, EPFL), whose research is devoted to concurrent and distributed programming, across systems ranging from multiprocessors to wide-area networks. This topic is of high interest to us, as Devexperts solutions for the financial industry widely use concurrent algorithms.
